Where should you invest as a Duluth resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there's a new investment Duluth residents need to know about. In fact, Bloomberg asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now and many of them chose it.
This may surprise you, but it's fine art.
Growing your nest egg with art isn't new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.
Here's why:
